Tax case probe neededFinally, the Supreme Court has ordered a probe into a bribery scandal in which at least two former senior judges were implicated for their role in a tax dispute that involved a Thai subsidiary of Japanese automaker Toyota. It's reported that four judges from the Supreme Court and Appeal Court have been appointed to a 10-member panel to look into the allegations. The US news outlet also cited a Thai law firm as a bribe facilitator. Therefore, it's welcome news that the Office of Judiciary has promised a swift probe against its own people in the latest case, no matter how senior they are. Apart from that, the Office of Judiciary and the Supreme Court must ensure the Toyota investigation is fair and transparent, so it meets public expectations.
